Rachel Dawes played by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Not Katie Holmes
editIn the Batman film The Dark Knight, why was the character Rachel Dawes played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, rather than Katie Holmes? 81.145.108.28 (talk) 14:18, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- Because Gyllenhaal was hired for the part instead. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:47, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- According to the Rachel Dawes article, Holmes "chose not to reprise the role". That's sourced to an article at slashfilm.com which says that "Holmes dropped out of the project earlier in the year", and mentions gossip that it was due to Tom Cruise's objections.
